Eddie Vedder: Mesa karaoke king

Ever wonder how Eddie Vedder would sound singing Sonny & Cher's I Got You Babe with a Cubs fan at a karaoke bar in Mesa?

Well, wonder no more.

A series of YouTube videos featured the Pearl Jam frontman, in town for Cubs Fantasy Camp, doing Sonny & Cher, the Beatles' Yellow Submarine and U2's Where The Streets Have No Name at the Best Western Dobson Ranch Inn.

The clips have been pulled from YouTube, but here's a version of one video still running at celebrity gossip site Bunny with Fangs:

He's clearly having fun - as are the other Cubs fans - and it's no surprise which Bono he does better.

But it kind of makes you wonder.

Is he staying there? Best Western?

Really?

Has it been that long since Jeremy?

Or is Vedder just being a man of the people?

Either way, it's pretty cool that he would let his hair down that way in a hotel bar.
